Honestly I think Ravencroft's deserves to win. It isn't cheating to put a link to this topic in the welcome message.It's just strategy and trying to get votes.It's like if a politician tells you to vote for them. It's not cheating it's just a smart thing to do.
It's not at ALL like this. You don't know what you're talking about.The poll was to find the "greatest server ever". It was not to find who could get the most votes for their server.
Because servers that are not hosted right now cannot possibly compete with servers that are currently up.
fyi, Whirlwind isn't giving people duck cannons anymore.
I don't see a problem with keeping the link in the welcome message though...
Ravencroft's is winning because no other server have a link to this topic in the welcome message, p much the only voters that participated (before the link) was those more or less active on this board. With Raven's portal to this topic, from in-game, the thread suddenly got alot more participating outsiders and seeing they all entered this topic through Raven's link it's p obvious who's gona have the advantage. If Badspot's would have a link it would probably win, for example.
So what happens when you win?You get e-jizz squirted over you from a bunch of guys? I don't see the point in trying to win if there's no real prize.
just saying, this poll isnt that very accuratea large percentage of players on these servers dont browse the forums, or dont browse very often.
the poll is for a subjective conceptyou can't even properly measure the 'greatest server ever' because you would have to define what it means to be the greatest serversaid definition varies from person to person
Currently running servers shouldn't be posted.There should be ranked choices but that kind of polling would have to be done outside of SMF.
